A kind of adaptive MIMO systems and signal processing method thereof
Technical field
The present invention relates to wireless communication technology field, specifically, relate to a kind of adaptive MIMO (Multiple-Input Multiple-Out-put, multiple-input and multiple-output) antenna system and signal processing method thereof.
Background technology
MIMO technology in the mobile communication refers to utilizes many transmit antennas and Duo Gen reception antenna to carry out the technology of wireless transmission; Any one wireless communication system; As long as its transmitting terminal and receiving terminal have all adopted a plurality of antennas or aerial array, just constituted a radio MIMO system.In mimo system, signal transmits and receives through a plurality of antennas of transmitting terminal and receiving terminal, thereby improves each quality of services for users (bit error rate or data rate).. treatment technology carried out signal processing when radio MIMO system adopted sky.Under multi-path environment, radio MIMO system can greatly improve the availability of frequency spectrum, increases the data transmission rate of system.According to the transmitting-receiving two-end antenna amount; With respect to common SISO (Single-Input Single-Output; The single output of single input) antenna system; Utilize mimo channel can improve the wireless channel capacity exponentially, under the situation that does not increase bandwidth and antenna transmission power, the availability of frequency spectrum can improve exponentially.Also can improve simultaneously the reliability of channel, reduce the error rate.
In general multi-antenna technology, comparatively be typically the base station and be equipped with many antennas, because it is generally acknowledged that the base station more can outer cost and the space of commitment than portable terminal.
In the past few years, it is more and more important that wireless traffic becomes, and simultaneously higher network capacity and more high performance demand constantly increased.Several kinds of selection modes are limited like the potentiality that in fact modulation system even the code reuse system of more high bandwidth, optimization improve spectrum efficiency.Mimo system utilizes space multiplexing technique to improve the efficient of institute's utilized bandwidth through adopting aerial array.
Be called spatial reuse through more than one antenna transmission multi-group data stream, wherein have two types:
First type is VBLAST (Vertical Bell laboratory layering space-time), and it sends the uncoded data flow in space, need not consider on receiver, signal to be carried out equilibrium treatment.
Second type through space-time coding (being Space Time Coding) realization.Compare with VBLAST, Space Time Coding provides the orthogonal coding mode, is independent data stream therefore.The VBLAST method can not separate data streams, the interference of a plurality of data flow therefore can occur, and this can make transmission become unstable, and the forward error coding always can not address this problem.The detection of Space Time Coding signal is based on a kind of simple linear process, and the acquisition rational result.The advantage of spatial reuse is the quantity linear correlation of the increase of capacity and transmitting antenna.
To the traditional research focus of MIMO communication is to have only receiving terminal known channel information (CSIR) always; If yet wireless propagation environment is slow fading channel (channel parameter changes slower in time); For example indoor environment and Local wireless network; We can arrive transmitting terminal with feedback of channel information through up link, and the channel information of transmitting terminal utilization feedback carries out preliminary treatment to the data that will send and just can improve systematic function.Based on this hypothesis, feedback--the focus of pre-coding scheme design becoming gradually research.Existing feedback--pre-coding scheme is based on SVD's (singular value decomposition).For simplicity, be example with 22 mimo systems of receiving, the system of this scheme is as shown in Figure 1.
With reference to shown in Figure 1, this SVD system comprises transmitting terminal and receiving terminal, and comprises feedback path 113.Transmitting terminal comprises: information source module 101, modulation module 102, precoding module 103, string and modular converter 104, VBLAST transmitter module 105, and 2 transmitting antennas 106; Receiving terminal comprises: 2 reception antennas 107, pretreatment module 108, channel estimation module 109, signal detection module 110, SVD decomposing module 111, demodulation module 112.
Transmitting terminal at first utilizes modulation module 102 to modulate to 01 sequence of information source 101; Modulation utilizes from receiving terminal later carries out precoding through the pre-coding matrix V of feedback path 113 feedbacks to modulation signal; Precoding is accomplished in precoding module 103, go here and there through string and modular converter 104 at last and change the back in the VBLAST module with the form of VBLAST from transmitting antenna 106 emissions.Here VBLAST emission is exactly that every antenna of transmitting terminal sends one of them of parallel data simultaneously.
Receiving terminal estimates through 109 pairs of channels of channel estimation module that at first to obtain current channel parameter, input SVD decomposing module 111 is carried out SVD to channel matrix and decomposed.SVD decomposes 3 matrix: U of generation, S, V (H=U * S * V
*), V feeds back to the
precoding module 103 of transmitting terminal as pre-coding matrix, and U sends to
pretreatment module 108 as the preconditioning matrix of receiving terminal, and S sends to
signal detection module 110 as the virtual channel matrix in the input.Wherein S is that diagonal element is channel matrix singular value λ
1, λ
2..., λ
KDiagonal matrix, so SVD decomposition meeting is resolved into a plurality of parallel virtual subnet channels with mimo channel, with reference to shown in Figure 2, be the pseudo channel model of SVD scheme.χ wherein

Be additive white Gaussian noise.We can use detection algorithms such as " zero forcing algorithms " in the
signal detection module 110 of receiving
terminal.In demodulation module 112, signal is carried out demodulation after having detected and obtain 01 information sequence.
The SVD scheme realizes simple, but following shortcoming is arranged:
The channel that 1, can not adapt to different correlations
Actual mimo channel is very complicated, and the parameter of channel receives the influence of several factors.If the envelope of signal very " similar " when between two antennas of receiving terminal, receiving same signal, we just claim that this coefficient correlation to antenna is bigger.The signal that coefficient correlation is bigger is actually signal and does not just arrive receiving terminal through enough scattering processes; And the gain of mimo system is to rely on the scattering of signal to obtain to a great extent, so tend to variation in the performance of the bigger channel mimo system of coefficient correlation.
Traditional SVD scheme is very sensitive to correlation between channels, can become very poor in the performance of the bigger channel SVD scheme of correlation, even can't use.
2, to the limited amount system of antenna
The VBLAST scheme that the SVD scheme combines tradition to use all requires the number of transmit antennas (Nt) can not be greater than reception antenna number (Nr).The antenna number at base station place is often greater than the antenna number of portable terminal (like mobile phone), so the SVD scheme is to the practical application that has influenced MIMO to a certain extent that is limited in of antenna amount in practical application.
Is the Nr < deficiency that can't be suitable under the situation of Nt in order to solve the SVD scheme less than number of transmit antennas at the reception antenna number; When the receiving end signal that carries out the VBLAST system detects; Prior art is for to carry out Space Time Coding to all transmitting antennas, and receiving MIMO with 42 is example, and system is as shown in Figure 3
With reference to shown in Figure 3, receive the VBLAST system for utilizing 42 of Space Time Coding.This system comprises transmitting terminal and receiving terminal, and transmitting terminal comprises: information source module 301, modulation module 302, precoding module 303, string and modular converter 304, Space Time Coding module 314,305,4 transmitting antennas 306 of VBLAST module; Receiving terminal comprises: 2 reception antennas 307, linear combiner module 308, channel estimation module 309, decoder module 310 when empty, and judging module 311, demodulation module 312.This system utilizes 314 pairs of signals of Space Time Coding module to carry out Space Time Coding at transmitting terminal, correspondingly decodes when 310 pairs of signals of decoder module carry out sky during through sky at receiving terminal 31.
The original purposes of Space Time Coding is the performance boost that multi-form (as launching the different linear combinations of its negative value, conjugate or a plurality of signals) through the identical data of transmitting terminal repeat its transmission reaches receiving terminal, utilizes empty time-code to also have the effect of virtual increase receiving terminal number of antennas here.
The mimo systems of for example receiving for 42, if need not empty time-code, receiving terminal will be 4 yuan of equation group (not regarding noise as unknown number) of having only 2 equations, can not find the solution.Use transmitting terminal behind the empty time-code to launch multi-form 4 times of identical data repeatedly, the equation number of the equation group of receiving terminal becomes 8, can find the solution.
But also there is following problem in above-mentioned utilization to the method that all transmitting antennas carry out Space Time Coding:
At first, similar with traditional SVD scheme, this technical scheme is poor performance under the channel condition of high correlation.
Secondly, the capacity of this scheme is lower.
Like the Space Time Coding of 4 transmitting antennas, 4 transmitting antennas have sent 4 different data at 4 time slots, and code check (the on average different pieces of information number of each time slot transmission) is 1, and this is equivalent to the transmission rate of SISO system, and power system capacity descends greatly.
It is thus clear that, utilize SVD to decompose signal is handled poor performance in the bigger channel of correlation, even can't use, can not adapt to the different antennas number again simultaneously; Though and utilize Space Time Coding can adapt to the different antennas number, same under the channel condition of high correlation poor performance, and power system capacity is lower.
